You don't have to be root to access /dev/ttyACM0 with neocon. Being a member of the dialout group should give you sufficient privileges.

by specifying a delay on keyboard input(as shown below), neocon will allow you to paste commands directly from clipboard without making u-boot choke on it.

neocon can be started without /dev/ttyACM0 being available. It will automatically connect as soon as you start u-boot on the Neo:

The main feature of neocon is actually that you can give it a list
of devices and it will pick one that works, e.g.,

# neocon /dev/ttyUSB{0,1,2}

If you don't like the one it picked, you can switch to the next with

~n

This is useful for dynamically allocated devices, such as ttyUSBn
or ttyACMn. You can of course also use them with other communication
programs - there's certainly no shortage of them - but then you have
to handle reconnects manually.
